A military comprised both the France, Germany and Poland would be enough to rival Russia's military strength let alone 26 other member states. The whole point of an EU army is to protect it's borders and challenge Russian might over the continent. Waging proxy wars in these times as brexit proclaimed would be nonsense.

they may have joined the SDF alliance, but that does not change that they will still see themselves as "the Kurds" and the rest of the alliance as the others.

this is more for their survival than a happy go lucky forgive and forget alliance. no matter who they decide to ally with their goal no matter what country they reside in is the establishment of the nation-state of Kurdistan, or barring that lofty and far off goal, they want autonomy to rule themselves lawfully in whatever country they reside in without fear of persecution, or barring even that at least equal and fair representation in the government of their host countries via elected officials.

in that they really aren't too different from the Israelis really. they just want their old homeland as theirs and want people to fuck off and leave them alone. other than that they're largely ok with basically anyone as long as they don't stir up trouble and are actually pretty damn near what the general US had hoped that the "arab spring" would be instead of what it actually was (a powergrab by the muslim brotherhood to consolidate their power throughout the middle east).

Hopefully. Turkish-backed rebels in al-Zenki (that group that beheaded that child soldier awhile back) were caught beheading an ISIS fighter near al-Bab not two days ago. This is literally with Turkish artillery and tanks at their backs.

Not if Turkey has anything to say about it. They're straight embedded with head-chopping rebels in North Aleppo as we speak and it was obvious that the point of their operation was for PR and for weakening the SDF

Well the ES rebels are mainly made up of groups that ran away with ISIL at the start of the war, so far it's taken Turkish troops with jets and tanks and APCs just to keep up with the SDF's second front..

As Turkey gets more brazen and antagonises both the US and Russia, people will see that the SDF is the only moderate group left in Syria.
